VANCOUVER, Aug. 13, 2014 /CNW/ - Silver Wheaton Corp. ("Silver Wheaton"
or the "Company") (TSX:SLW) (NYSE:SLW) is pleased to announce that its
Board of Directors has declared its third quarterly cash dividend
payment for 2014 of US$0.06 per common share.

Third Quarterly Dividend

The third quarterly cash dividend of US$0.06 will be paid to holders of
record of Silver Wheaton common shares as of the close of business on
August 27, 2014, and will be distributed on or about September 5, 2014.

Under the Company's dividend policy, the quarterly dividend per common
share will be equal to 20% of the average cash generated by operating
activities in the previous four quarters divided by the Company's
outstanding common shares at the time the dividend is approved, all
rounded to the nearest cent.

The declaration, timing, amount and payment of future dividends remain
at the discretion of the Board of Directors. This dividend qualifies as
an 'eligible dividend' for Canadian income tax purposes.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

The Company has previously implemented a Dividend Reinvestment Plan
("DRIP"). Participation in the DRIP is optional. For the purposes of
the third quarterly dividend, the Company has elected to issue common
shares under the DRIP through treasury at a 3% discount to the Average
Market Price, as defined in the DRIP. However, the Company may, from
time to time, in its discretion, change or eliminate the discount
applicable to Treasury Acquisitions or direct that such common shares
be purchased in Market Acquisitions at the prevailing market price, any
of which would be publicly announced.

The DRIP and enrollment forms are available for download on the
Company's website at www.silverwheaton.com, accessible by quick links directly from the home page, and can also be
found in the 'investors' section, under the 'dividends' tab.

Beneficial shareholders should contact their financial intermediary to
arrange enrollment. All shareholders considering enrollment in the DRIP
should carefully review the terms of the DRIP and consult with their
advisors as to the implications of enrollment in the DRIP.

of securities. A registration statement relating to the DRIP has been
filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and may be
